Gilat Satellite Networks, a satellite networking technology company, has announced that its next-generation SkyEdge IV Aquarius modem now includes support for single channel per carrier (SCPC) mode.
The SkyEdge IV Aquarius Pro modem is engineered to deliver ultra-high performance across next-generation VHTS GEO and NGSO constellations. It is particularly well-suited for ultra-high throughput trunks, offering speeds of up to 750Mbps in both directions. This makes it an optimal choice for a variety of fixed and mobile applications, including broadband, 4G and 5G backhaul, commercial maritime and cruise ships, and corporate enterprise services.
Within a SkyEdge IV Network, the SkyEdge IV Aquarius Pro’s SCPC mode is tailored to ensure continuous service, supporting the latest software-defined satellites. It facilitates seamless operation, including “make before break” handovers between NGSO satellites, and allows for switching between GEO and NGSO or among different GEO satellites.
“The Aquarius Pro is the first-to-market, GEO-MEO modem. It provides unique features such as DVB S2X with VLSNR, MEF L2 and unique RF combining capabilities,” said Gil Elizov, Vice President, Products, Gilat Satellite Networks. “The addition of an SCPC offering along with TDMA and Elastix SCPC makes SkyEdge IV the most flexible system in the marketplace for any application.”
